The journey of healing from feelings of betrayal and abandonment involves acknowledging deep-seated pain, embracing negativity, and meeting it with presence. Initially, there may be hatred and rage towards God or the light, but by allowing oneself to feel and express these emotions, it can lead to opening up to hurt. Through experiencing hurt, one can realize the root cause of feeling let down by the light, eventually paving the way to love. It is important to expect discomfort and resistance when trying to embrace the light, as parts of the psyche developed from past experiences may initially repel it. By persisting in affirmations of self-love and tolerating negative reactions, one can gradually reach the parts of the self that crave love the most, even if they initially respond with anger and hatred.
